DAMMAM: Al-Nassr suffered their first Saudi Pro League defeat since January after a 16-game winning run that had taken them to the top of the table with a five-point cushion, as Al-Qadsiah earned a 3-1 victory at the Prince Mohammed bin Fahad Stadium on Sunday.
MANCHESTER: Manchester United secured Champions League football next season as Kobbie Mainoo’s strike earned a thrilling 3-2 victory over old rivals Liverpool on Sunday. United were 2-0 up inside 15 minutes through Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko, but imploded after the break to allow Arne Slot’s men to level with goals from Dominik Szoboszlai and Cody Gakpo before Mainoo secured the win. A return to Europe’s elite competition after a two-year absence and another big win furthers Michael Carrick’s case to continue as United boss next season. Mainoo has embodied the upturn in United’s fortunes since Carrick took charge in January. Overlooked by Ruben Amorim, the England midfielder earned a new five-year contract this week and celebrated in style with a cool finish from the edge of the box to edge a wild encounter. “He’s played a huge part in it, all the confidence he gives all the players,” said Mainoo on Carrick’s role in turning United’s season around. “You want to follow him and fight for him and die for him on the pitch.” Third-placed United open up a six-point lead over Liverpool and are guaranteed to finish in the top five. Despite an 11th league defeat of the season, Liverpool likely need only three points from their three remaining games to also secure a place in the Champions League. Slot’s side arrived at Old Trafford depleted without the injured forward trio of Mohamed Salah, Hugo Ekitike and Alexander Isak. United sensed blood and were well worth their early two-goal lead. Cunha was afforded two chances to find his range from the edge of the box to open the scoring. The Brazilian’s strike flicked off Alexis MacAllister to give Liverpool’s third-choice goalkeeper Freddie Woodman no chance. The waves of United
RIYADH: Al-Hilal are still undefeated in the Saudi Pro League this season after a 3-0 victory over Al-Hazem on Matchday 31. Yet as the all-important Capital Derby on May 12 against Al-Nassr approaches, concerns are growing within the Al-Hilal camp over the team’s style of play.

LIVERPOOL: Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk scored with a header in the 10th minute of second-half stoppage time on Sunday to snatch a 2-1 Premier League win in a thrilling climax to the first Merseyside derby at Everton’s Hill Dickinson Stadium. Liverpool once again looked shaky and lost goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili to injury in the second half, but Van Dijk dug deep to deliver a victory that boosts their hopes of Champions League football despite a disappointing season. Liverpool stay fifth in the standings on 55 points, three behind Aston Villa with five games left to play. Everton are 10th on 47 points. The top five teams will play in next season’s Champions League. Playing in his final derby ahead of his planned departure from Liverpool in the summer, Mohamed Salah stamped his mark on the game in the 29th minute as Everton gave the ball away cheaply and Cody Gakpo picked out the Egyptian who calmly fired home past Jordan Pickford to break the deadlock. After a poor start, that goal jolted the visitors into life, but Beto brought Everton roaring back early in the second half by holding off Liverpool defender Andy Robertson before steering a low cross from Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall into the net from close range. In a worrying development for coach Arne Slot, keeper Mamardashvili was injured in the incident and had to be replaced by Freddie Woodman, and the 29-year-old had some worrying moments as he stepped in to mind the net for the remainder of one of the biggest fixtures in English football.
MANCHESTER: Manchester City striker Erling Haaland picked the perfect time to end his lean spell in the Premier League with the winning goal in a 2-1 victory over leaders Arsenal to give his side the edge in the title race on Sunday.
